What is the cargo capacity of Honda City?
Typically around 510–520 liters (about 18 cubic feet) of cargo space with the rear seats up, though the exact figure varies by generation and market. This article outlines current capabilities and what can affect space.
How cargo space varies by model and market
Boot space measurements differ between generations and regional versions of the Honda City. Here is a general guide to what buyers can expect.
- Recent-generation City (introduced around 2020) typically offers about 510–520 liters of trunk space with the rear seats up, sufficient for a full set of luggage or several suitcases.
- Earlier generations (2010s) generally provide a similar ballpark around 500–510 liters, depending on whether a spare tire is included or a subfloor is used.
- Market-specific variations exist: some regions with slightly different rear-seat configurations or trim choices may show small differences in measured capacity.
In practice, the exact bag count and packing approach will depend on the rear seat split (usually 60/40) and whether a spare tire is present or a repair kit is used. These factors can shift usable volume by a small margin.
Maximizing and measuring cargo space
To get the most out of the Honda City’s trunk, folding down the rear seats expands capacity and can create a flatter loading floor. Some trims also offer a full-flat floor, which minimizes intrusions from wheel wells and makes loading easier.
- Folding rear seats (split 60/40) expands space for longer items while maintaining passenger seating.
- Full-flat floor options reduce wheel-well intrusion and improve overall usability for bulky items.
- Presence of a spare tire versus a repair kit can affect the base cargo capacity; a spare tire typically takes up space that would otherwise be usable for luggage.
These adjustments can significantly increase usable capacity when transporting larger items and make the trunk a flexible part of the cabin.
Summary
The Honda City offers a practical trunk for its class, with typical cargo space around 510–520 liters with the rear seats up. Exact figures depend on model year, market, and trim level. For precise specifications, consult the official brochure or the dealer for your region and vehicle year.
